From the good folks at Humble Arts Foundation comes two new exciting opportunities for emerging photographers:31 Under 31: Young Women in Art PhotographyOf course, by narrowing the definition of emerging artists to age you are reinforcing the idea that the young have a patent on artistic efflorescence and economic need. This can be especially thorny when you are talking about women as we take the age thing a little more personally. We cougars in the photography biz can be just as innovative, just as emerging and just as in need of an institutional boost as the kittens. Think about all the talented women who wouldn't qualify for this opportunity.
On March 1, 2008, in honor of Women's History Month, Humble Arts Foundation, in collaboration with Ladies Lotto, will present "31 Under 31: Young Women in Art Photography," a month-long exhibition celebrating 31 of the most innovative young women in emerging art photography under the age of 31. The Exhibition is co-curated by Lumi Tan, Director of Zach Feuer Gallery in NYC, and Jon Feinstein, Curatorial Director of Humble Arts Foundation.
Submission deadline: Friday, January 25th, 2008
